Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

You have to consult a dentist who can get the tooth extracted soon. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day to remove some infection and to keep the area clean. If it gets painful you may need antibiotics like Augmentin and painkillers too.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
